It circulates extensively, and as an Advertsin medium offers unrivalled ad Vages. F rms, see first page. The R. R. Question. The talk about building a rail road that would run through New berry, Prosperity, Leesville and Blackville to Port Royal has so far been only talk. The speeches at the meetings have only set forth in glowing colors the advantages of railroads. Nothing has been done in the way of communicating with outside parties. Not a single rail road corporation or railroad man has' been interested, nor asked to take part in the project. There has not even been a committee ap pointed to devise ways and means, to investigate the feasibility of the movement, and to communicate with other localities interested-so that whether the proposed railroad ever get to Port Royal the parties at the head of the movement are themselves "at sea." We do not want to dampen the ardor of feeling that exists in the minds of any on this subject; but we want to suggest that if they in tend to accomplish anything they must be practical and must work with some definiteness of purpose. Such meetings as that at Brown & Moseley's Mill, the 25th, while they are very pleasant gatherings,amount to nothing; at least we can see no practical good to result from them. That meeting should have appoint ed a committee of wide awake, in telligent citizens to confer with the different localities along the pro posed route and also with the Vir ginia Midland directors. Until this he done nothing definite can be done or attempted. At the meeting the 25th the im portant question, Bow can a rail road be built ? was not touched upon. That question admits of but one answer at this day. The days of building railroads by pri vate subscription have passed ; and any road that is built now must be by County bonds-by taxation. The usual way is for the Counties through which a road is to pass to vote a subscription sufficient to build the road and then turn the matter over to some corporation that can. equip it and run it, the taxpayers getting back their taxes by way of enhanced value in their property, greater conveniences, and -that sort of thing. The route that is spoken of-that is the extension of the Virginia Midland to Port Royal by the points named-appears to us feasi ble ; and if the people will go to work methodically and systemati cally they may be able to accom plish the desired result. The prospects are gloomy enough, but not as much so as grumblers -would make one believe. Crops will be short, but by economy and thrift our farmers can worry through with comparative comfort and ease. Let them save all the grass and hay they can, plant pret ty liberally of small grain, millet and such things for their stock, to supplement the short corn and oat crops, and they will get along. Grumbling and grieving will not mend matters. And then they can comfort themselves with the reflec tion that a "dry" year is usually followed by one of fine seasons. Abundant crops were made in 1846, after the worst year known to the oldest inhabitant. The Normal Institute closed its session at Greenville Friday, after four weeks duration. It was more largely attended than last year, the whole number of teachers attending being three hundred and thirty. The session wias a very satisfactory one in every particular. The teach-I ers learned many things that will be of incalculable advantage to them in their profession, and they go back to their work with more exalted and more correct views of the dignity and importance of their calling, and no doubt with renewed zeal and energy. Cuffee as a Cadet is a failure. Recently the Whittaker investiga tion occupied a large share of pub lic attention, the Court Martial finding that this colored Cadet slit hsown ears while a lagging sta dent at West Point in order to se cure sympathy. Now comes the news that Lieu tenant Flipper, colored, who grad nated at West Point in 1877, and. has been wearing the uniform of a soldier since, has been caught in an attempt to embezzle $5,000 belong ing to the Commissary Department. The President's Condition Was extremely critical Friday and Saturday. It was thought he could live only a few hours. Sun day he began to rally, and there is still a faint hope that he may pull through. State News. Josh Munday, colored, was hang ed at Edgefield Friday, 26th, for murder. Three negro prisoners, one of them a convicted murderer, escaped from the Richland County jail the 24th. A young man in Orangeburg County, named Duford, 19 years of age, committed suicide because his girl refused him. The notorious outlaw Lewis R. Redmond pleaded guilty before the United States Court at Greenville last week to ten indictments for violating the revenue laws in various ways. A fight with guns took place in the neighborhood of Fruit Hill, Edgefield County, the 24th, between Jesse W. Timmerman on one side and J. W. Buzzard and an 18 year old son on the other. Mr. Bnz zard, Sr., was killed instantly, and the son was so badly wounded that his recovery is doubtful. Mr. Tim merman was shot by young Buz zard in the groin. Timmerman escaped. FoR THE HERALD. From Smokey Town. 'With joy I hear my friends exclaim, 'Come let us in God's temple meet.' " Tn our section of the country, for the last two weeks, most of the time has been spent in devotioral exercise. On Saturday, 13th of August, the protracted meeting commenced at Bethel, the Baptist Church of which Rev. Milton Norris is pastor. As is usual on Saturday evenings the con gregation was small, and the pastor seemed somewhat discouraged that his looked-for assistance was not at hand. Comforted, however, by the glorious Bible promises, which prompt us to "pray and not faint," he went ardu ously to work as though the blessing was sure, and it did not tarry. Sab bath the congr~egation was large, and we had two good practical sermons suited to the occasion, mingled with many a fervent prayer that they might bear fruit. On Monday Rev. Elkin came and the entire work did not de volve so heavily on one. As the two ministers labored the meeting grew visibly warmer, and on Tuesday seve ral, on profession of faith in Christ, connected themselves with the church. Rev. Elkin preached thirteen consecu tive sermons, two each day and one each night. Though we could see no Aaron or Hur staying his hands, we felt that there was a Mighty Unseen Power doing the work, for his words fowed as "from the pen of a ready writer." By the kind- consent of our patrons, we with our pupils, attended services each day. It was a precious privilege and one the memory of which we shall cherish while life lasts. For this meeting we had spent many a fond wish and earnest prayer, and how we trembled with hope and fear as we thought of those whom we loved so dearly, still standing out in the cold world, so far from the fold of God. But it pleased God to make His sanctuary a very Bethel, and as we saw fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers humbly coming and declaring themselves on the Lord's side, we felt that "God had indeed visited His people." During the meeting twenty five were added to the church. The preaching was all good, the congrega tion attentive, and every one seemed to enjoy the roeeting. There was some little excitement manifested in the congregation, but none by those who united themselves with the church. They seemed to he acting in a thoughtful and deliberate manner. This week there has been a protracted meeting at Mt. Zion, which we have not been able to attend, but we learn that many more have joined the church. From our pupils, of this year, eleven have cast in their lot with the people of God. Rejoicing, we would praise cur Heavenly Father with songs and magnify Him with thanksgiving. The membership of the churches has been much refreshed and invigorated. We speak for all when we say, may the God of all grace grant to these worthy watch men, who "shunned not to declare the whole counsel of God," 'many stars in their crowns when He maketh up Uis jewels." As for ourselves we have been greatly strengthened and sice We know not what duties await us, What work God requires us to do. With heart and hands ever waiting, We will strive to lbe willing and true. J. A.L. In the Highlands Again-Our! Quarters-The Mountain Lily. IIENDERSONVILLE, N. C.. Aug. 25, IS. Again in the highlands, of which we shall speak briefly. The A. C. Jones' excursion, which brought us here, was a pleasant affair and gave .3ral satisfaction to the entire party, so wuch so that we have heard the wish expressed that having conducted the former and this one so well that he would get up another. But we say NO TO TIIIS; two experiments of the kind have given abundant proof that the New berry people are not exeurtists. Rest on your honors, Capt. Jones-you did well. Hendersonville is as full as an old gossip, and yet they come-the people-and yet they are taken in and stowed away and done for on the most approved plans. We are sleeping in the Barber Shop that was, in the old rock house of delightful memory, and it is decidedly more sedate and re spectable now than on our former visit. COL. POOL AND FA31ILY are my left supporters, while a saddle shop is on my right, and the stairs between the Col.'s and our room is the passage way for numberless ladies who room up stairs-the whole form ing a quiet, orderly community. We are right on the stiect, you know, and it would never do for sueh respectable looking individuals as ourselves to couutenaLne anything unseemly. C. C. C., our irrepressible host, gave a magnificent hop in honor of Newberry and Laurens last night, and on this occasion the light fantastic fandangos were executed in the dining room, and of course as all the preparations had to be made after supper, it was half past ten before everythiog and everybody could be fitted in It was an immense crowd and Chase, and Jay, everybody knows Jay, and a Mr. Gray did wonders, and therefore we take pleasure in making mention of them iu this brief history. The hop or ball was a success, althoug.h we did not dauce. To-day was given to THE MOUNTAIN LILY, not a fair nymph, reader, but the steamer of which so much ha been said, and of which Capt. .1 Iivels, of Charleston, through the columns of the Greenville news, very funnily says be cannot speak without going into a spasm. The Captain alludes discourteously to the Mountain Lily, in saying that her crew have to wade in and push her along, and much wore of the same kind. The Lily is a modest little thing and feels the cruel shaft which has struck her, but to-day she got up steam like a little witch and Capt. Davis succesefully proved that she was full of life, and will make the entire run as soon as the river rises. He came in to-night with the gratifying intelligence that it is be ginning to swell from a rain which fell to-day. Enough said for the present. FOR THE HERALD. SILVER STREET. HEssRs. EDITORs : You may be gratified to know that your editorials on subjects of Simon Johnson and prohibition are generally thought to be exactly true and correct. I have heard persons discussing them, and they agree w!th you. Time will prove you are right, and fully vindicate your position on prohibition. If the pres ent Legislature force prohibition on thc people it will certainly be made a question in the next election ; for the liquor dealers and drinkers will feel that they have been first attacked, and the result will be a division of the Democracy, the triumph of the oppo sitiou, the State remanded to its for mer debased condition before the days of Hampton, and then liquor unlimit ed everywhere, and so the defeat of the very objcct the prohibitionists have in view. There is another ques tion though on which we, the farmers, differ with most of the Editors in the State. Most of them and their staff contend that the farmers are making (on paper) a two thirds to three fourths cotton and other crops. This is cruel and tantalizing to us who know we will not go over a half crop, and if you rich country editors persist any longer in this idea, I suggest that you back up your judgment by going1 through the County and buying up the crops at half a crop. which you can easily do, and reahize the other< fourth profit on each, thereby adding1 much to your already princely wealth.i FARMER.

[ Ne York Baptiut Weekly. c FOR THv HERFALD. Students' Ite-Union. The :Rt -Uni&:: if th stdeits,ex-tu lents an-i alumni of Newberry College for he present year was held at Corinth, Edg ield County, Rev. C. P. Boozer's charge, aturday, August z'7, ISSI. The mneting vas organized by calling Prof. E. H. Aull :O o the chair, Prof. C. W. Welch acting as l sceretary. The exercises were opened with b wayer by Rcv.C. P. Boozer. The business i >f the Association was then attended to. t dr. W. G. Houseal, of Newberry, an alum- r ius of the College of the clas of 1881, was )resented to the audience, and in a most 1 iappy manner argued the cause of educa ion, and urged the claims of his Alma Ma er. After this speech the query plan was dopted : that is, several questions were )resented and discussion was invited, not )nly from the members but from any pres- e -nt. The first question discussed, "Does Ed ,cation Pay?" was opened by Mr. C. M. E rd, of LexiugLon. The speaker, in a very ractical and earnest style, argued the :aimis of the afirniative, and showed most :onclusively that education does pay, and hat most abundantly. Prof. C. W. Welch e Followed, and also pressed the claims of the S iffirmative. A farmer always selects and ultivates his richest fields. Why? Be :ause it pays ; it produces a better harvest. Upon the same principle should the mind a be cultivated, developed, educated. It is t he rich field. It pays to cultivate it. An intermission was then given and a sumptuous dinner enjoyed. The first question for the afternoon ses ion, "What is the relation of the I)ommon p Schools and Colleges?", was discussed by I Prof. Welch. The Common School, the' o High School, the College and the Universi ty shou'd all be links in the chain of edu =ation, and helps to each other. In the b Common School the foundation is laid; it is r wore importrnt that the foundation of an education be substantial than that the foun dation of a house be strong. Therefore good a.-d competent teachers should be C employed in the common schools the sante as in the colleges. The principle of in- n struction in both is the same. "What is the comparative value of the Clasics and the Natural sciences?", was next announced, and the discussion was o pened by Rev. C. P. Boozer. Both should a be studied : you must study the classics in e ord,r to a right comprehension of your 0 a own vernacular. They must be studied in order to a right understanding'of the nat ural sciences. Prof. Aull followed, claim- V ing that the object of an education is not t so much the stocking of the mind with 0 knowledge and facts. Its main object be- t ing to train the mind to think, and to think logically, to develop all its facultie., what #ver best accomplishes this end should have a prominent place in our curriculum of study. The classics are important for this . reason. The Natural Sciences to be studied, C also, to a certain extent-far enough to point out the way that they may be studied 0 after the College course is finished. The discussion was elosed by Mr. W. G. Hous- % eal, who also spoke in favor of the study of r the classics as a good discipline. It m3kes c no difference if' not a single Greek or Latin e word is remembered provided they were diligently studied in College. The list question, "If a man has several sons and is able to educate only one, what ; should ne do ?' was discussed by Mr. G. M. f Efid. It would be a dirdeuli matter for a parent to call his children around him and t select one and give him a good education . and let the others groiv up in ignorance. I Do the best you can for all of them, in an f educational standpoint. Thus closed the exercises ot the d'iy, and it is hoped that some good has be.en done in the cause of education aind for our Col- C lege. Long will the members of the Re- A Union rernember the kindness an1d hospi- e tality of the good people of this portion of a Edgefield County. A. - t Hard Tfimes. Abbeville Press and Banner. It is only necessary for one to ride ~ into the country to become convinced ~ of the alarmingly short crops of this ~ year. In our opinion we are on the eve of a panic, the like of which we have never seen. Hlund reds of far- h mers cannot begin to p-ay for the ad- b vances which they have received on ti the crop, and the greatest number of si them have mortgaged their mules, e wagons and cattle to secure the pay- ~ ment of the lien. In somne instances I the merchant msay be able to wait, ti but it is fair to predict that many ti plow animals will be sold off the va. t rious farms of delinquent debtors. It t. behooves every citizen to husband all p~ his resources, and to contract no new si debts of any kind. The failure of the crops in the 'West will most likely send up the price of corn and bacon to a figure which will do much to b embarrass us still further. It is pos sible that the failure of the crop will very materially affect the value ofa real estate, and it is barely possibie toe see the prices of farming lands go b lown to the figures at which it sold hree or four years ago. Prudentr nen will of course be careful about :ontrating debts at this time, and hose who are in debt have the grcet est reason to fear evil consequences.

News and Courier. Without any public announcewent d fiiurish of trumpets, an important S cal railroad in South Carolina has 1 en ineorporated and surveyed. and now rapidly approaching comiple on. This road is the Central Rail. Ad of South Carolina. It is built ti ader peculiarly favorable circum- r ances, and is expected to have a arked effect on the trade of Charles mn. The stock holders are confident a fat it will be a prosperous concern, )d expect it to vie with far more retentious lines in the magnitude of e s income and the smallness of its Epenses. THE COMPANY ORGANJZED. In 1869 a company was organized rder the style of the ;South Carolina entral Railroad Company,' for the >nstruction of a road from Lane's A tation on the Northeastern Road, c Fty-three miles from the city, to umter on the Wil mington, Columbia ir ad Augusta Road, a distance of for r miles. The route was duly located ad some work was done upon it 'hen the project was abandoned, and >e charter by its own limitation ex ired. In the meanwhile Messrs. ritchett & Land,extensive producers F naval stores in that section, con ived the idea of utilizing what had een done, and constructed a tram >ad upon a portion of the line to a Dint known as Forestown, thirteen iles from Lane's. This they suc ssfully accomplished, and with a ght locomotive and a few small care ioved for some five years all the I -eights of that section to and from e Northeastern Road. But their feilities proving unequal to the de- B iands upon them it was proposed to a1 nvert the tram-road into a railroad, w ad to extend the same via Manning to b umter. With this view a charter hi as obtained for what was termed the e e 'Williamsburg Railroad,' the title tc f which was subsequently changed ti > the 'Central Raiload of South Caro- g na.' THE CAPITAL SUBSCRIBED. p1 In the early part of this year the harter was duly secured and a com any organized, with Mr.-S. S. Sol mns as the president and chief en. ineer, for the construction of the >ad. The first step was the pur hase of the Pritchett & Land prop- I rty, the intention being to substitute r the wooden rail then in use upon old iron rails of a quality sufficient ' good to answer the purposes of a eiglhting road. This, however, was nly partially carried out, when about ae 1st of July the company changed i s plans and determined to build a i rst-clas road throughout, using heavy tee rails and all thme most approved te ppliances for the best performance - r f any service which might be re uired of it Its original capital was tended from $50,000 to $150,000, ud the additional stock was promptly C ken up. It was then decided to r 'sue $300,000 6 per cent. first mort-j age bonds, which were readily ne otated at par. and with these re urces active oporations were comn enced about the middle of the past d ionth. THE WORK IN PROGRESS. The company has now abont 700 1 nds at work in preparing the road ed, getting crosaties, &c. Three housand six hundred tons of fifty-A x pound steel rails have been bought, leven hundred tons of them. are now 14 eing discharged at the Northeastern tairoad wharf, and going forward on ae cars to Lane's. A cargo is afloat >be delivered at Wilmington, N. C.,A >be carried to Sumter (the upper ~rinus of the road,) f-om which a oint track laying will also begin as >n as the rails reach there. COMPLETION OF THlE ROAD. In addition to the rails for the hole line, the company has also ought two locomotives, to be de- A vered very soon. The completion of e road is simply a question of time ~ ad labor, and under favorable cir.. umstances it way be accomplished y the middle of November next. The completion of the Central Rail )ad will place Sumter within 93 miles of Charleston, as against 141 by A e present route by way of Florence. .t Sumter the Central Railroad will A nnet with the Wilmington; Col mbia anid Augsta Railroad, making A Te distance between Charleston and Le olumbia 136 miles, against 130 A iiles by the South Carolina Rail- A; THiE COMPANY'S PROSPECTS. L There is little doubt that the Cen zl Railroad will earn la-ge dividends. I here is no 'water' in the capital of Le e road. Completely equipped, built h| the nwst substantial manner, and id throughout with steel rails, it will ' t cost more than $10,000 a mile. wi his is lower than the cost of any Tj milar road in the contry.- The cost A the South Carolina Railroad, ae rding to Poor's Railroad Manual, was 0,000 a mile, and of the North stern Railroad $21.000 a mile. The entral Railroad will have a large B. cal business, and as it will work in urmony with the Northeastern Rail- C. ad and Wilmington, Columbia and D. ugusta Railroad, and puts these E. ads onn eqoal footing at ColumbiaF ith the South Carolina Railroad, expects to divide the Columbia isiness with the South Carolina ailroad It is not said rhat any pre- G. rene will be given to the Central aiload, hut it is certain that the . anville Synidicate and the Associated ~ ines of Virginia and the Carolinas e favorably disposed, and necessarily e in the new route a friend and ally d not an opponent.

Not a single share of the stock of e Central Railroad is owned by any ilroad or other corroration. The ajority of the stock is owned here in harleston. Indeed there is only one ockholder outside of the city. As ready mentioned, all the rails have !en bought, and the road will be mipleted as fast as money and mus e Uan conipass it, to the great benefit Charleston and to the profit of the sacious stockholders.
